Question about the Two Tone P226R
Guys, I have some questions about the finish on the stainless two-tone SigSauer P226R.

Is it the exact same slide as the "regular" blued P226R, but without an applied exterior finish?

Are all other parts on the slide the same as on the blued version of the pistol?

Is the stainless brushed?

Is there any sort of clear coat?

Is it any more rust inhibiting than the blued version?

I generally like all stainless, or all black, or blued, guns but the pics I've seen of the two-toned P226Rs look pretty nice.

Thanks in advance for any and all useful info.

Cheers!

in order

as far as I can tell.

see above.

maybe? I know it's not polished or anything.

I didn't notice any.

didn't seem better or worse, as most of the guns have a stainless slide.

I like tri-tone sigs (two tone with wood grips) they look really sharp.

Thanks for your feedback!

I imagine the black coating could protect it more from rust, but the bare stainless makes holster wear less noticeable, and is easier to touch up, assuming there's no clear coat of any sort.
